HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM COVID- 19
The bestway to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. You can take steps to slow the spread. Stay at least twometres away from others, whenever possible. This is very important in preventing the spread of Covid- 19. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others. This helps reduce the risk of spread both by close contact and by airborne transmission. Wash your hands often with soap andwater. If soap andwater are not available, use a hand sanitiser that contains at least 60 per cent alcohol.
Avoid crowded indoor spaces and ensure that indoor spaces are properly ventilated by bringing in outdoor air as much as possible. In general, being outdoors and in spaces with good ventilation reduces the risk of exposure to infectious respiratory droplets. If you are sick, stay home and isolate from others. Also, clean and disinfect frequently- touched surfaces routinely.
Maintain social connections and pay attention to your mental health, as pandemics can be stressful.
